Death at Wentwater Court (Daisy Dalrymple Series, Book #1) by Carola Dunn
England, 1923. The country is still recovering from World War I and undergoing rapid social changes. Enter the young Honourable Daisy Dalrymple, who has made a decision that shocks her social class: instead of living with her mother and being supported by her relatives, she's decided to forge out on her own and make a living as a writer. Daisy lands an assignment writing a series of articles on country manor houses and travels to stately Wentwater Court to research her first piece.
There she finds a household in turmoil, filled with holiday guests and recriminations. But that's nothing compared to the uproar that follows when one of those guests drowns in a tragic early-morning skating "accident." When it is learned that this drowning was anything but accidental, Scotland Yard is called in and a young chief inspector, one Alec Fletcher, is called in to investigate. And therein hangs a tale.
